After what has seemed like an eternity, work on Ba got a big jump start this week! Julia is almost finished with the dining room. The chandeliers and lamps are up, the wainscoting is almost done the curtains are up, and the walls are painted.

Now we just have to slap these butt-ugly emergency lamps on top of her beautiful walls to make the fire dept cool with us.

Celebrity guest crew this weekend included Aaron Shepard, who did a ceramic tile installation in the kitchen and Bathrooms, Matt Dressler who did a Donald Judd-esqu steel column in the front. Colin O’Mara-Green, and katy H.  who painted the loft. Robert Espinoza came and installed the beautiful windows he crafted for us.

With the tile in,  work began on the exhaust hood in the kitchen. As soon as it is finished I get to buy a stove!!!!
